THE EAGLE. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY. DECATUR, IADIAIVA. FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1869.

THE NEWS. C. C. Clement has been appointed Surveyor General of Utah. An organized effort is being made to introduce Chinese labor in the Southern States. About forty Mormon missionaries were in New York last week, on their way to Europe to recruit for Utah. A large amount of sugar has been seized in Cincinnati and Chicago by the U. S. revenue officers, because the owners failed to pay the required duty. Chicago is considerably exercised over the discovery that some of her merchants have been repacking fish, and making the packages light weight, so as to undersell their less enterprising neighbors. The yellow fever has made its appearance at several ports along the Southern coast. The contending forces in Cuba are reported suffering from it, especially those on both sides not acclimated. It is stated that two hundred and fifty Cuban recruits encamped on Gardner's Island, in Long Island Sound, afc supplied with provisions, etc., from New lork City. They expect to leave for Cuba soon. •

The directors of the Buffalo and Erie Railroad have accepted an agreement to consolidate with the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad, subject to the approval of the stockholders, the vote to be taken on the 10th of August. The match between Allen and McCool has been arranged an agreement drawn up, and 8200 a side deposited. The fight is to take place November 10, within fiF!y miles of Cincinnati. Geo. Wilkes is spoken of as the final stake holder.

Influential parties from Texas have been in consultation with the President, urging that an early day be fixed upon for the election there. The President said it was his desire that the election should take place as soon as possible, butthat he was overruled by his cabinet.

The Great Eastern was off the coast of New Fotindland on Monday, within thirty miles of the place where the splice is to be made to the shore end of the cable. The signals arc all perfect. In two or three days the second cable uniting us with Europe will hare been successfully laid.

The New York Herald's Richmond dispatch says that General

Canby, on Thursday, expressed his gratification at the manner in which the Virginia election was conducted, and pronounced it one ot the fairest that ever occurred. He says the whole country has cause for congratulation at the success of the President's policy in reconstructing Virginia under the reconstruction ’ acts. Govenor Walker can not licdnaugnrated tin til after the State Constitution has Iteen accepted by Congress.

A party of Chicagoans who are makingoftn excursion cA’cr the Pa- i cific road calledwi Brigham Young at Salt Lake. As they were bidding adieu, Brigham refnarked to SenatoF Trumbull, that on returning to Congress he might hear of some persons being expelled from the territory; anti if done he might l>e sure it would lie for good reasons. The Senator advised him to fnakc his grievances known to Grant, who he represented as a just man, who would permit no violation of law to go unpunnished, and inquired if he would not promise obed once to the constitution and laws of the Union. Brigham promised adherence to the Union, irat declared one enactment of Congress would never be obeyed—- * that forbidding°polygamy.

Among the presents sent to prominent men of this country by a Mexican, is a silver call bell for Seward. Is not the presentation of this article to Seward some what “sai kastical," as A Want lias it ? It is a good deal like present mg it retired hangman with a noos <xl roj»e

Tbe Election In Virginia. Walker, the conservative candidate, has carried the State by some 50,000 majority. The conservatives also have a majority on joint ballot in the legislature of sixtysix. The result is very unsatisfactory to the extreme radicals, but as the reconstruction laws have been complied with they'can only growl and talk about the necessity of additional legislation.

Oar Tea Crop. The experiment of cultivating tea is to be made in California by those acquainted with the business, on a scale to fully test its practicability. Agents of a Japanese colony have purchased lands in the foot hills of El Dorado county, which the Japanese think is well adapted for silk and tea culture. If they’ are not mistaken they’ think there are many’ thousands of acres of land in that state which can be devoted to the purposes mentioned and the day may yet come when Californa will be as noted for its teas and silks as it has been for gold.

STATE NEWS. The state debt has been reduced 81,800,000. The Abrams trial at Indianapolis is set for July 19. Mad dogs occasion some alarm in Terre Haute, two having been killed recently. Mrs. Aquilla Anderson, of Fort Wayne, presented lijer husband with triplets on Wednesday morning last. It is expected that the cars on the Vincennes road will run from Freeman to Worthington by Aug., 15.

Hon. D. W. Voorhees will deliver an address at Indianapolis on the 12th, upon the occasion of laying the corner-stone of the new Sentinel building. Til An alligator has been discovercd in Koonz lake, Marshall county to have escaped from a menagerie. Wabash College is out of debt, has cash in hand to erect a new wing to the main building, and has its presidency and all its professorships permanently endowed. This is a healthy condition.

The Crawfordsville Review says : The “most exemplary" Rev. in that city came near beating his horse to death a few days since, while in a towering passion. The noble quadruped was rescued from the other brute by the timely interference of the neighbors. Forney, who is probably the biggest humbug in American political life, is now looking for elc-va tion to the federal senate as a senator for South Carolina. He has attempted about every other dirty scheme, without attaining the de sired result; he will therefore next try the carpet bag dodge. A little son of Captain W. B. McLean, of Evansville, aged eight yea s hunting for a stray cow part of Evansville, was attacked by six vicious dogs belonging to some negroes in the neighborhood and most horribly mangled. The cries of the little fellow at last attracted the attention of persons in the vicinity, who cames to his rescue, otherwise he would have been killen, and perhaps torn to pieces. Dr. Morgan dresecd the little sufferer's wounds, and thinks he willrccover. The dogs were killed.

Cuba Washington, July 10.— s Cuban partisans have the following advices from Nuevitas and Puerto Urincipe to June 27. They say there havelieen no movements of a decided character in either district. The Spaniards have l»een rcmforcOd at Nuevitas, and thus enabled to retain poscssion of the railroad from that city to Puerto Principe, and give succor to the garrison of the latter city, which is threatened by the Cubans under Quasada. In the district of Puerto del Padre, there have been'several skirmishes. The health of the Cuban army is good, and the soldiers were organized. There is great anxiety to lean the views of the United States government, and the position it will occupy in the contest.

A marvelous instance of female presence of mind recently occured in Pittsfield, Mass. A double wagon, with a pair of spirited grays attached, was standing on North bl-ect, and a woman holding tl • reins in one hand and a parasol in the other. The horse took fright, dashed on to the sidewalk, knocked down Dr. Charles Bailey, and finally were with difficulty brought to a stand on Bank Row ; whereiq»on the woman, who had taken things coolly, remarked, “that she could have stopped them horses easy, any lime, if she hadn't had Io hold that j‘ara‘o,l with one Uahd’"’

SPECIAL NOTICES. Man— in the young and it isING generation; the vegetative power of life are strong, but in a few years how often the pallid hue, the lacklustre eye and emaciated form, and the' impossibility of application to mental effort, show its barreftfl frrfhience. ft soon becomes evidence to' the observer • that some influence is checking the do-' velopmcnt of the body. Consumption is' talked of, and perhaps the youth is removed from school and sent into the country. This is one of the worst movements. Removed from ordinary diversions of the ever-changing.scenes of the city, the powers of the body too much’ enfeebled to give lest to healthftil and rural exercise, thoughts are turned in» ward upon themselves. If the patient be a female, the proach of the monscsg is looked for with anxiety, as the first symptom in which Nature is to show her saving power in diffusing the circulation and visiting the cheek with the bloom of health. Alas! incrcas eof appetite has grown by what it fed on; cnerges of the system are prostrated, and the whole economy is deranged. The beautiful and wonderful’ period in which body nnd mind undergo so fascinating a change from child to woman, is looked for in vain; the parent’s hearts bleed in anxiety, and fancies the grave but waiting for its victim. Helmbold’s ExtraClof Bucbti, for Weakv ness arising from excesses of early indiscretion, attended with the following symptioms: to Exertion, Loss of Power, Loss of Memory, Difficulty of B entiling, General Weakness, Horror of Disease, Weak Nervcj, Trembling Dreadful Horror of Death, Night Sweats, Cold Feet, Wakefulness, Dimness of Vision, Langour, Universal Lassitude of the Muscular System, Often Enormous Appetite with Dyspeptic Symptions, Hot Hands, Flushing of the Body, Dryness of the Skin, Pallid Countenance and Eruptions of the Face, Pain in the Back, Heaviness of the Eyelids, Frequently Black Spots Flying before the Eyes, with Sempornry Tuffusion and Loss of Sight, want of Attention, Great Mobility, Restlessness, with Horror of Society, Nothing is more desirable to such patients than Solitude, nnd nothing they more dreid, for Themselves; no Repose of Manner, on Earnestness, no Speculation, but a hurried Transition f«om one question to another. These symptoms, if allowed to go on- - which this Medicine invariably removes —soon follow Loss of Power, Fatuity, and Epileptic Fits, in one of which the patient may expire. During the Superintendence of Dr. Wilson at the Bloomingdale Asylum this • sad result occured to two patients: reason had for a time left them, and both died of epilepsy. They were of both sexes, and about twenty years of age. Who can say that these excesses are not frequently followed by those direful diseases Insanity nnd Comsumption? The records of the Insan c Asylums, and the melancholy deaths by Consumption l>enr ample witness to the truth of these assertions. In Lunatic Asylums the most melancholy exhibition appears. The countenance is actually sodden and quite destitue—neither Mirth or Grief ever visits it. Should a sound of the .... voice occur.

“With woeful measures wan Despair Jx)W sullen sounds their grief beguiled.’ Whilst we regret the existence of the above diseases nnd 'Symptoms, we nre prepared to offer an invaluable gift of chemistry for lheremovalof the consequences. Helmbold's Highly Concentrated Fluid Extract of Buchu. There is no tonic like it. It is nn nnchorofhope to the surgeon and patent, nnd this is the testimony of all who have used or prescrobed it.

Ix»t not Prejudice l aurp Your Reason. It is a fact that, in the minds of many persons, a prejudice exists against what are called patent medicines; but why should this prevent you resorting to.an article that has such an array of testimony to support it as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS? Physicians prescribe it; why should you discard it? Judges, usually considered men of talent, have used nnd "do use it in their families; why should you reject it? Let not your prejudice usurp your reason to the everlasting injury of your health. If yon arc sick and need a medicine, try these Bitters. When the bodily energies nrc worn out by anxiety and need a stimulant, this is the best that enn he taken. It is tempered and modified by hygienic herbs and roots, which prevent it from fevering the blood; and hence it does not produce a mere temporary excitement, to lie followed by injurious reaction, but communicates a permanent potency to the entire vital organisation. Some ofits herbal constituents are slightly soporific, so that in cases where sleeplessness is one of the accompaniments of nervous disease, a dose of it taken towards bed time wilt tend to produce quiet and refreshing slumber. For palpitation of heart, tremors hysterics, fainting fits, and general restlessness and the causeless fears and distressing fancies to which ladies are especially subject, under certain morbid conditions cf mind and body peculiar to their eex, the Bitters will be found the most agreeable and certain of sll counter-irritants. Theconstitutionally nervous may readily keep their infirmity in constant check by the daily use of this healthful veget able tonic; and those who have “shattered their nervee," as the phrase is, either by imprudent indulgence or undue physical or intellectual labor, will find in thia vitalising elixir a prompt rectors, tive.
